Question

if not, then where?

Answer 1

no, beauty is in the mind of the beholder.

Answer 2

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" was brought out by most truths.. when you love someone, they become even more attractive to you, You look at them in a different light then if you just met them or saw them walking down the street.
There of course, is beauty all around us. Everyone is beautiful in their own way, or has something beautiful about them as a person.
So when we here that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" from someone-about someone that we are with, perhaps they don't have the attraction towards that person as you do because they don't look at them the same.

Answer 3

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder to a point because certain people find certain things attractive while oters may not; however, there are some features that appeal to everyone. People in different places of the world have very different views about what "beauty" actually is.

Answer 4

It is and it isn't. Reason being, societies condition people to find certain things beautiful. Also, people have their own ideas of what is or isn't beautiful. So it is in the eye of the beholder, but it's also something that society teaches you. For instance, in some African tribes a bride-to-be will eat for days on end in order to gain weight because the fatter she is, the better she looks to her husband and others in those tribes. In America, we would mostly find that pretty disgusting. We've been conditioned to prefer skinnier girls from the time we're very young by movies like Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and then live action pictures with girls like Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, etc. It's a mixture of natural desire and society.

Answer 5

Yes and no, true beauty is beauty to everyone, ugly beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Inner beauty however is golden.

Answer 6

ya, I've thought someone was beautiful and had someone next to me say "not so much" while looking at the same person.

It's a persons opinion. There is indeed a sort of required SYMMETRY in ones face for them to be considered attractive, but really it all comes down to the beholders own opinion.

Like I thought Jessica Alba was beautiful and my ex-boyfriend didn't. Strange isn't it?

Answer 7

true beauty exists within the awareness of the soul and deeper into the dimensions we can only dream of.

It radiates from the Divine source and permeates the veils of the earthly realm....

when a beholder is witness to the beauty....The beauty is suspended in thankfulness for a time.......and is recycled back into the Cosmic soup pot.

Love is Beauty

Answer 8

yes... have you ever seen something that was so ugly you wondered haw anyone could admire it? And then you see someone lovely admiring it? That is beauty in the eye of the beholder.

Answer 9

Yes, it is. We find certain people and things appealing because of our personal preferrences. Now, sometimes we are trained to think certain things are beautiful by our friends, family, society, and TV. It really depends on the individual, though. My friends all like a certain type of music and trip over themselves when a certain type of guy walks by. I listen to a completely different genre and laugh at their taste in men. It really depends on perspective and how in love we are. When we are infatuated with someone we naturally think they are the most amazing person in the world..that's just the way we work.

Answer 10

In the mind, heart and soul of the beholder and is experienced by all of the senses, not just sight!
